The Young Gods represent a Swiss masterclass of guitar meets synth music. Their technology-driven reinvention of rock has influenced artists across the globe, including the likes of David Bowie, U2 or Nine Inch Nails. In light of their achievements, one is left to wonder why the Fribourg outfit never quite reached the same heights as some of the artists they inspired.

In this special concert for the Red Bull Music Academy Weekender, The Young Gods will embark on a musical journey throughout their more than thirty years of band history. Support comes from acclaimed St. Gallen artist Bit-Tuner whose work distinguishes itself with heavy beats, blown up bass sounds, gloomy atmospheres, acid-driven melodies and uproaring soundscapes.
